OK….You know the saying “it’s 5 o’clock somewhere” when someone judges you for day drinking? Well, as soon as I saw this theme ….. “it’s Sunday somewhere.” Song Lyric Sunday, that is; with a theme of Drive/Driving! Thank you, Helen Vahdati!
“Drive“
written by Ric Ocasek; sung by Benjamin Orr
Who’s gonna tell you things aren’t so greatYou can’t go on thinking nothing’s wrong
Who’s gonna drive you home tonight?Who’s gonna pick you up when you fall
Who’s gonna hang it up when you call
Who’s gonna pay attention to your dreams
Who’s gonna plug their ears when you scream
You can’t go on thinking nothing’s wrong
Who’s gonna drive you home tonight?
Who’s gonna hold you down when you shake
Who’s gonna come around when you break
You can’t go on thinking nothing’s wrong
Who’s gonna drive you home tonight?
You know you can’t go on thinking nothing’s wrong
Who’s gonna drive you home tonight?
Because you can’t have too much Benjamin Orr:
Three seems like overkill ( to you, maybe, but not to me or my pal sweetpurplejune), but I had to throw this one in for a change of pace. It’s really worth listening to.
I’ve just rediscovered the Cars. This song is great!

You’re welcome! What did you think of the original concept in the demo?

While I liked it, I have to say I prefer the studio version. There is a aural “roundness” to it that feels better to me.

This was the first song that came to mind when I read Helen’s post, but I was 100% sure that you were going to choose this song, so I went with something else, which is scheduled to be posted at around 6 am Pacific Time on Sunday.

Thanks so much for not taking this song! I was afraid someone would before I got the chance to post. Of course, I probably would have posted anyway! Looking forward to seeing what your choice is.

Snap! I chose this song as well but you got there first :O) Glad I rebelled and added a second song just in case ;O)
I wonder how many more of us will pick this wonderfully brilliant song? xx
